VerseThe Delight of Krishna

Verse 5·25

The yogi finds peace through inner control

Verse

लभन्ते ब्रह्मनिर्वाणम् ऋषयः क्षीणकल्मषाः ।छिन्नद्वैधा यतात्मानः सर्वभूतहिते रताः ॥

labhante brahmanirvāṇam ṛṣayaḥ kṣīṇakalmaṣāḥchinnadvaidhā yatātmānaḥ sarvabhūtahite ratāḥ

Sages win Nirvana in the Brahman, they in whom the stains of sin are effaced and the knot of doubt is cut asunder, masters of their selves, who are occupied in doing good to all creatures.

Gītā 5·25

The perfect sage, the Gita more than once repeats, is ever engaged with a large equality in doing good to all creatures and makes that his occupation and delight. The perfect Yogin is no solitary musing on the Self in his ivory tower of spiritual isolation, but a many-sided universal worker for the good of the world, for God in the world.
